Australia is a rice producer and exporter of medium grain rice, the size of the crop limited by water availability. Around 1 million tonnes/year is grown with the highest yield/hectare (around 10, Thailand 3.3) and lowest water usage in the world, and of course FAR fewer people employed so much higher incomes.
Can you imagine the look on Yingluk's face if it was suggested we could teach Thais how to grow rice.

I suspect the same lack of efficiency operates for all Thailand's agricultural products. Yet, here we are surrounded by areas of increasing food deficits with a huge market potential if only Thailand could pull it's finger out and improve its productivity and agricultural systems.

Great news from the PM of Thailand. It shows some vision for the future at a time when global food security is increasingly threatened by population growth, water shortages, energy uncertainties and climate change. Thailand is in a good position to make a positive response, but farmers here are very badly remunerated, poorly resourced in terms of modern technology and seriously undervalued as keystones of the nation. I am hoping that Yingluk will lead a revitalisation of Thai agriculture and the status of farmers.

The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money.

The problem with capitalism is that it allows investment bankers to turn other people's money into global financial crises.

No, that's corporatism.

By far very different things, since both socialism and corporatism counts on the governments intrusion into the market place.

No. it's capitalism - a particularly rampant form of it.  It was precisely the lack of government regulatory control of the financial market which allowed the investment banking system to create worldwide economic havoc.

In Topic: Thai Govt Well Prepared For Earthquakes, Urges Public Not To Panic

2012-04-21 14:49:47

Minor earthquakes frequently precede major ones and to talk of the recent handful of small quakes being a good sign because they relieve tectonic pressure borders on the bizarre. The earthquake magnitude scale is logarithmic.  This means, for example, that to release the energy of a magnitude 6 earthquake there would need to be 1000 magnitude 4 or 32,000 magnitude 3 smaller earthquakes.

The painful ignorance of the Director of the National Disaster Warning Centre comes as no surprise, but his failure to have his stupid statements checked by one of his team of scientists tells us that he is also dangerously arrogant.
